I cant mate, I don't have photobucket etc, to stop your bumper catching it just needs the lower brackets bent back into place. But fixing it with a hacksaw is much more fun :laugh:

1mm metal cutting disc in the angle grinder cuts plastic very well

To be honest, I cut my bumper with a cutting disc as well, if you don't burn the plastic it gives a nice straight line. :)

Also did cut my bumper with the angle grinder, then finished it off with my Dremel with a soft stone.
So there are no more "sharp" edges inside or outside.

You could use masking tape to give you a line to keep to then make a cardbord template and tranfer it to the other side to make it the same
